Artist's description:

The Struggling Man was inspired by a Jimmy Cliff song; for me it represents the need to let go of the past, (including regrets), in order to fully embrace the present, (along with whatever the future may hold). Having the will to survive and never losing sight of the value of love; constantly moving forward, one step at a time, to reach the sky and whatever is beyond.

The painting is high pigment, heavy acrylics, with sand mixed in to enhance the texture of the piece. The canvas is hand made and is top grade 380 grams pure cotton. Painting edges are blackened and the piece is ready to hang. Vanished for protection.

This is part of my 2017 collection which consists of over sixty paintings which were created over an eight month period.
